Reason: Pretty sure it is the best Grebe photo currently available. The reflection of the trees behind is nice.

Comment because I can't decide, the composition seems off too me. Too tight on the right, too loose at the top and bottom, or something I can't put my finger on. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 00:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I've provided an alt crop. I don't have a particular preference. Processing might be marginally different. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:02, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support original -- technical quality is excellent and good EV. I agree with the above comments about composition. The alt crop is OK, but I think I'd prefer to see less space below the bird and more (or the same as there is now) above it. Everything is too central at the moment. A much tighter crop might also work: I don't think it's essential to preserve the reflected neck and head. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 21:12, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose: I think the composition of the alt is acceptable and it's a good swimming capture, but opposing because of overexposure at the head and neck (and the small part on the side, but if it were only there I would probably forgive it). Maedin\^talk 07:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd dispute any overexposure. Hoary by definition means Grayish-white and it looks correct. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
